EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tiger attacking a British officer" takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically the colonial era. The image, originally featured as a back cover illustration in Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on August 3rd, 1913, showcases a dramatic encounter between an English officer and a ferocious tiger. In this intense scene, we witness the bravery and resourcefulness of the British officer as he defends himself against the powerful predator. With his pistol aimed at the beast, he fights for his life amidst the dense jungle foliage of India. This depiction not only highlights the dangers faced by colonizers but also symbolizes their dominance over nature. The artwork serves as a reminder of both the allure and perils associated with colonialism during that time period. It reflects themes such as hunting, imperialism, and European influence in Asia. Furthermore, it raises questions about humanity's relationship with wildlife and our impact on their habitats. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time through this color lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art can capture significant events and provoke contemplation about our past actions.
